A citizen had the folly to write to demand

one word to justify their execution. It is fror,

How an Ink Lake Was Formed.

The strange story of Lake Dawho in
South Carolina, turned black and
poisonous by hail-storm. is thus ex-
plained: 1t seems that II dense mass of
black gum trees surrounds the lake on
all sides, and that the leaves of these
trees are strongly impregnatcd with
tannic acid. 1t has also been ascer-
taincd that the bottom of the lake con-
tains slight deposit of iron. The hail
storm filed the lake with bruised leaves
and small branches from the trees, the
tannic acid cmanating from which
mingled with tho iron and formed tan
nate of iron, causing the water to turn
black as ink and bitter as quinine and
poisoning the fish by thousands. One
species of fish inhabiting this lake sur
vived the singular disaster, and that
was the mud fish, which buried itself in
the mud at the bottom The. stencil
arising from the dead and rotten fish Is
described rs fearful. The thousands OF
buzzards, in taking their departure in
the evening for their roosting place
after a days feast, are described rs
making noise similar To that of q
cyclone. Chicago Journal.

SUSPICIOUS OF FOREIGNERS.

Tho Mail Matter of Foreigners In Berlin
Opened and Deinyed-Compaints From
Different Sources.
LONDON, Oct. 7.-Whether there be any
thing in the atmosphere of Berlin tending
to arouse suspicion in the minds of foreign
ers temporarily resident in the German
capital, or whether the German govern
ment has in its service an ingeniously con-
stituted system Of espionage, there is, OF
course, no means of ascertaining, but the
fact remains that complaints to that effect
from different sources, have been published
within the last few days in tho journals of
various European capitals.
A. M. Schumoff writes to the Journal de
81. Petersburg that his footsteps were con-
stantly dogged while he was in the German
capital, his purchases noted and his cor
respondence put under the closest surveil-
lance. Several letters written to him from
Warsaw and Moscow never reached him,
and all of the letters which were permitted
to come to his hand during his stay, he is
positive, had been opened before being for
warded to his hotel.
An English gentleman writes to the Times
that when he first reached the German cap
ital, where he spent some time, a French
daily paper to which he had subscribed
reached him with unfailing regularity, ex-
cept on the morning on which there
were letters for him in the same mail
On these days both papers and let
ters were several hours late, and he
was informed, on lodging complaint,
with the postal authorities that the delay
was caused by the failure of the French
| train to make its regular connection at Co.
| logne, although he found the French paper
had arrived at the cafes ut the usual hour
After about three weeks soiourn at Berlin,
however, there were no more such eccen-
tricities in his mail service, which change
| he attributes to the possible circumstance
that the authorities had ascertained that
| he was not conspirator.
OF course the experiences Of Frenchman
in Berlin would not fall behind those of
other visitors there and complainant,
writing to the Ganiois, more than insinuatcs

brief stay in that city, was tampered with,
II not for the delectaion OF the Prussian
ff1cials, for that OF Prince Bismarck him
self. This writer revenges his supposed
wrongs by depicting, in picturesque Ian
guage, the life of the German youth ut the
universities, their orgies, their igno.
rance, their idleness and brutality, and
there lack Of 10y atty and common honesty
which promises the degeneracy and ulti
mate downfall of the Teutonic empire
through the future entrance of these ruff
fans into the service of the State. Such
revenge as this writer takes would scarcely
compensate an Englishman or an Ameri-
can for the wrong committed, but to &

Value of White Topaz.

Peak is almost equal in value to the
diamond. Not many people know this;
but found topaz on the banks of the
Platte river last summer and sent it to

1t weighed 1928 carats, and the lapidary
sent back word that he would give me
$500 for it. refused the offer, and in
vestigation disclosed the fact that if l
had sold the stone it would have found
its way into some OF the large jewelry
stores of the metropolis, where, cut into
innumerable small stones, it would
have been offered for sale rs genuine
diamonds. Clear white topaz is worth

ROBERT COLLYER AT HOME.
Sketch of Prominent Divine of tho
Metropolis.
Especial Correspondence. |

Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Dec 1.-Some men grow
into prominence, like the oak, which,
springing from an acorn, gradually, with
out voltion lifts its head to the skies.
Such man is Robert Collyer, the pastor
of the Church of the Messiah in this city.
Born in a humble village in Yorkshire,
England, first a factory hand, then q
blacksmith, afterward strolling preach
cr, he stands today among the foremost
pulpit orators in the land. His intellec-
tual growth is hidden from analysis. He
chose path, followed it like child and
1t led him to the mountain top. He owes
nothing TO ambition, having simply fol-
lowed his natural impulses. Mr.. Collyer
resides at 1877 East Thirty ninth street, in
plain brick house, for, although he re-
ceives $40, 1000 year from his congrega-
ton, he lives unpretentiously. His days
are devoted to parochial work, his nights
to reading and study. Every week he
writes new sermon, generally upon
some live topic of the day. A diligent
reader of the newspapers, he finds no
dearth of timely subjects. One night re-
Gently paid him a visit. He was in his
library, busly engaged in correcting
proofs of a new product of his pen, entitled
1oiho " IouuS Ahcu Will ASlucS W
Young Women" 1t will shortly be pub
lished by Lee & Shepard of Boston. His
library is large, square room on the top
floor of the house. The floor is of var
nished wood, with here and there an ample
rug. On the four walls are high shelves
filled with books, above them portraits
and engravnss. Unlike the libraries of
many literary men, there is no litter of
papers AID confusion of books to be criti-
ciscd here. Everything is in the most
scrupulous order. As l entered the room
Mr. Collyer arose from the wide fiat table
where he was working and babe me be
seated. He has changed but little since !
heard him preach his first sermon in the
Church of the Messiah eight years ago.
His large fine head, with its plenteous
gray hair, his broad, good natured, com
pletely human face which any child or
man would trust, look the same as at that
time. Perhaps his figure is more ample
otherwise he is unchanged. l asked him
the secret of his superb health. He smiled
good humorodly and replied in his char
acteristic way:
Oatmeal and milk and oat cake
plenty, with bit of meat for the worker
in my younger days, n good mother to
teach me habits of health and the provi-
dence Of God to guide me through shoals
of temptation.
My childhood was passed in q cottage
containing two rooms, and an attic look
ing right into the eye of the sun and
away toward great purple moors where
the air was fresh and pure and healthful.
DO your wonder at my healthp'
